I don't see any EconTalker. Is your profile set to public to allow followers without verification?

Speaking of twitter, I've been a huge critic of it for a while thinking it was all about self importance and the inanity of daily life. I feel like I totally get it now and what makes it interesting is that it is a very bottom up, Hayekian way for individuals to converge on common subject matter. After understanding the #hashtags which allow anyone to post to a kind of public microblog to individuals providing information and news in times of crisis, this is a great example of complex emergent behavior.

You may want to check out the hashtags #tlot (top libertarians on twitter) as well as #economics #liberty, etc.

Look forward to receiving your tweets!

I can think of some twits in this blog's comments sections who I with were limited to 140 characters or less.
